Podtoid 461 October is here and that can only mean one thing: terrible novelty songs on the radio. There are several Halloween songs out there, but obviously, the most well-known is “Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett. But is the song “Monster Mash” about a song called “Monster Mash” or a dance called “Monster Mash?” Or is it both?
